This gorgeous adaptation of Lucy Maud Montgomery's classic children's story is well worth watching with the whole family. Produced for Canadian television, it's one of those rare productions that actually sticks to the book and even enhances it through first-rate performances and an excellent script. Set on bucolic Prince Edward Island in the late 19th century, Anne of Green Gables is the story of Anne Shirley, an imaginative and headstrong orphan. When brother and sister Marilla and Mathew Cuthbert decide to adopt an orphan boy to help Matthew work the farm, they are astonished when Anne arrives at the train station by mistake. "What use is she to us?" grumbles the gruff Marilla. "We might be of some use to her," answers Matthew, who has taken an instant liking to the talkative Anne. As Anne grows up, her adventures are both hilarious and moving. It's a delight to watch as she forms a friendship with the beautiful Diana and her admirer--the dashing Gilbert Blythe--then dyes her hair green, cracks a slate over Gilbert's head when he calls her "Carrots," and finds a sympathetic teacher who encourages her to attend college.

Richard Farnsworth is perfect as the shy and gentle bachelor Matthew, who confides to Anne that he never went courting because "I would have had to say something." Colleen Dewhurst delivers a nuanced and powerful performance as Marilla, a seemingly cold-hearted spinster whose no-nonsense exterior conceals a warm heart. And as Anne, Megan Follows strikes the perfect note, maturing from freckle-faced orphan to elegant and poised young woman. --Elisabeth Keating

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Ann of Green Gables
Wonderful story of an imaginative young girl given difficult circumstances to overcome, and succeeds beyond her young, naive belief.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Anne of Green Gables DVD
After seeing part of this DVD on Public Television I was so intrigued I ordered the book and this DVD. This film was beautifully done and the scenery of the area which was the real setting for the story was exceptional. It follows the book very closely. Only a few noticeable editorial changes which did not negatively affect the story.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Canadian Classic, Great Set!
This is a great set with disks that have been *slightly* restored and extra features have been added. I am very glad they are closed captioned.

1. Anne of Green Gables is one of the best novels ever written and the mini-series is presented very well and is accurate to the book. It is an outstanding rendition. The release of this set is nicely timed with the 100th anniversary of the novel.

2. I like the first sequel even though they made changes, mostly because they were ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A real family film
Anne of Green Gables has been one of my favorite movies. Even as a kid I enjoyed watching it. It is such a sweet story. Anne is so warming and seems to touch everyones heart. She always makes the best of things and puts a smile on many faces. Her friendship with Diana is very loving. Anne still remains faithful to her friend even when she is forbidding to see her.
Her relationship with Gilbert leaves you hanging there at the end. Matthew is very warm and open to her from the beginning, but Marilla ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Marilla Cuthbert's Death
I have owned all three Anne of Green Gables Movies on VHS for quite sometime now and simply love them. I purchased this collection because I wanted to watch the scenes depicting Marilla Cuthbert's Death, which had been totally cut out of the originals.

To be honest, the producers made a good decision cutting the scenes out. They were nothing like I had anticipated and detracted from the story but I was happy to be able to finally watch them. I also, enjoyed the commentaries, which were added ... Read More
